I always like the late Gene Barry’s idea that they should do a series about Bat Masterson covering the last 20 years of his life when he was a columnist and sports reporter in New York City. ---

Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet, _ **Journeyman** _ I was really curious to see where they could have taken that concept. ---

I liked that at first, but then the Journeys started really fucking him over, endangering his family, etc. I’d have said “Fuck you, aint gonna play this game no more.” ---

This was the series Judd Apatow did after Freaks & Geeks and it’s sort of the sequel to it. It’s set at a university in Northern California and follows a small group of freshmen. Presumably, subsequent seasons would have seen them progress through their college years. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Well, if we’re gonna do that, I’d like the original _The Avengers_ with Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg. A year or so ago, I bought the complete set of Macnee/Rigg episodes on DVD. I’m still working my way through the B&W episodes, but they’re a lot weirder than I remembered. Diana Rigg as Emma Peel is still every bit as sexy as I remembered, and Macnee as Steed is so marvelously witty. ---

> [@Ethilrist](#): > > Stargate: Atlantis or Universe. I don’t remember for sure where Atlantis ended off; I think they cranked out a couple TV movies to tie up loose ends and I wish they had just shot another season of regular episodes. Universe kind of ended on a good note, except for that one guy who probably had to step out of an airlock, but I’d still like to see more stories about the lives of the people on the ship. Altantis took off from the Pegasus Galaxy and wound up in the Pacific Ocean on Earth, cloaked so it didn’t cause mass hysteria, dogs & cats living together, terrible ghostbuster reboots, etc. AFAIK, all the TV movies were SG1 based. ---
